I am interested in expression of CXCR2, which is expressed on neutrophils and is important for neutrophil migration. I am specifically interested in neutrophil recruitment to the lung. For the shown experiment I titrated the CXCR2 antibody on naive lungs. Without inflammation (in naive mice), neutrophils are only present in the capillaries of the lung. I confirmed that neutrophils were in capillaries with intravenous staining of CD45. Naive lungs were dissociated, digested with collagenase, and red blood cells were lysed. Leukocytes were stained with neutrophil and monocyte markers along with anti-CXCR2-FITC. Anti-CXCR2 was titrated in samples. Data show gated capillary neutrophils and inflammatory (Ly6C high) monocytes (which don't express CXCR2, as a negative control).

Results Summary

From my experience, staining cytokine receptors require higher concentrations of antibody. CXCR2 is expressed on circulating neutrophils and shown here lung capillary neutrophils do stain for CXCR2. Monocytes, which do not highly express CXCR2, don't stain with this antibody indicating that there isn't much off target staining. Of the titrations, 1:20 worked the best and showed definite positive staining on neutrophil, which are know to express CXCR2 on their surface.
